"20 Polish Christmas Carols for Soprano, Female Choir and Orchestra" by Witold Lutosławski as an extremely good example of pedagogical interactions in Polish school of music

Abstract

The article presents some remarks on possible ways of the upbringing of teenager students by the employment of tools that are connected with tradition. These remarks follow from the just edited CD album with twenty Polish Christmas carols by Witold Lutosławski who is indisputably one of the major composers of the twentieth century. There is no doubt that Christmas carols are pure examples of tradition preserved by nations. Additionally, the album may be interesting for young students because of its excellent performance by their peers, i.e. students of the Karol Szymanowski State Secondary Music School in Katowice.
